The lowercase company name over the capitalized PRODUCT NAME also increases the threatening aura…

My third Commander deck I built was stubbornly trying to crash in Bant creature lands with Angus running defense. The strat still needs help, but it’s my oldest existing deck at this point.

Declaring attackers and blockers are in separate sentences. Is there space between the two for the active player to decide where their assigned attackers are going before the player casting Master Warcraft assigns blockers, or do they assign blockers “blind”?

No dice on wookieepedia, though. Guess there are freedoms we still haven’t gained from the Galactic Empire.

I’m not on-camera regularly, but I’ve wondered about this myself. I’ve been blind in my left eye since age ten. I’ve had people that were shocked to find this out, and others that have asked what’s wrong with it. It strange to not always know how it looks or to be able to do much about it.

Hadn’t posted about it here, but I had an outpatient surgery scheduled for today.

Made it through and I’m home relaxing. Less pain and food restrictions than expected, but still rough.

Rewatching AP Bio and planning to start FFVI. Any other suggestions/recommendations?

The initial premise of “a fat pack shuffled together” sounds like the decks I was building when I started during Fallen Empires.

Haven’t come across it, but interested. I’ll keep an eye out at shoebox.gg

Hoping to find more multiplayer there (and introduce folks to the stuff I’m building)

I’ve been focused on developing more ways to play multiplayer. Playtesting with my playgroup in the hopes of sharing stuff with people in March at shoebox.gg

Is this something that will be updated as I build out a website to share things?

Bassim! This sounds very disheartening. I’m sorry you’re feeling like your interests are being discarded. Especially sorry that it seems we won’t get to see any of the design work you’ve done.

My main interest is also in multiplayer, and I agree that we need more ways to play.

No enchantment removal. There are basic tutors off a few lands that blow up other lands. There are a few things like Gavony Township that need an immediate answer.

I think you could shuffle the graveyard and turn it into a library if you run out of cards, but games haven’t gone that long.

Turn three. Since your only effects are on lands sequencing plays a bigger part.

3-4 players, shared deck of 100 lands. Everyone starts with a copy of Words of Wilding in their command zone. First blood becomes the monarch. It seems like 10 life is the right starting point, but I need to get more testing in.

Bananas have always seemed like the most interesting fruit. Whole cultivars develop to try and stop people from eating them, yet they’re the funniest fruit. Certainly features in some of the best fruit related songs.

I’m still hoping to get on the youth floor hockey to professional coaching pipeline.

I’m sure my experience coaching a fantasy team speaks for itself.

Been on the hunt for new music, so I’m back to perusing stations from around the world using the Radio Garden app.

As someone who is half blind, I appreciated finding Monocle Radio in London. I’m impressed that it’s a pretty good station.
